Sniffing network traffic would not defeat anything, provided you are prompted about the necessary permissions.
- chongli 5y agoThe problem with those permission prompts is that many users blindly accept them. If a “sniff all network traffic” permission were allowed, it would take all of one day before Facebook et al release an update with it and start siphoning millions of users network traffic. Apple does not want this.
